Multi-Vehicle Crash Statistics

In California, motor vehicle accidents are one of the leading causes of unintentional injury deaths. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, in 2017, there were 3,304 fatal car accidents in California. In California, on average, 48 over 100,000 people died due to their injuries in 2018.

A multi-vehicle collision is one sort of automotive accident. This sort of accident occurs when three or more vehicles collide. This type of collision is called a “chain-reaction” collision because it can lead to collisions with other vehicles on the road if one vehicle collides with another.

In multi-vehicle collisions involving passenger automobiles, more than 13,000 people are killed each year, accounting for more than 40 percent of all motor vehicle accidents in the United States.

Drivers who operate their vehicles aggressively or recklessly are putting other people’s lives unnecessarily at risk. Innocent people shouldn’t have to suffer due to someone’s careless actions on the road. Drivers who operate their vehicles in such a manner should be held liable for the damages and injuries they cause.
